   Service was TERRIBLE and the place looks nothing like the pictures online. We kept joking we got catfished by this place because the pictures online were so cute and the actual place was boring and sterile. When we finally got our drinks after being there for 30 minutes they were abysmal. Would absolutely not recommend.

   Ambiance was great, drinks were good but the service was not very good. There were two bartenders and a bar back making drinks and less than 15 people there yet it took at least 20-30 minutes to order and receive your drink. Not sure what was going on.

   Fun roof top bar, but there’s no food. And the service was just ok.

   For one, it was very hard to navigate. Two, upon making reservations we weren’t informed that for everything you want we would have to go to the bar instead of having table service. The vibe was good and the scenery was beautiful.

   No food. Service terrible. All items must be purchased at the bar. Very understaffed. Almost nobody there and we waited for over 10 minutes and ended up leaving. Fully enclosed with windows that slide open. Dirty. You don’t even know you are there except the name is on a dirty floor mat. It was perhaps once a great place but is no longer.

   Arrived, was informed they no longer take reservations...was told they no longer served food. Finally they "found " a table in an empty room full of empty tables and served us water from plastic cups. The view EHH Plenty of other amazing places to see and experience New Orleans.

   Underwhelming. We were in town for a concert and wanted to go to a roof top bar , which we’ve done in other cities. Speakers were not working in the area of the bar we were sitting in, which was a huge disappointment. Music may have helped greatly. Pop up restaurant was ok, very limited menu. Was not the caliber of exciting, fun roof top clubs we were expecting.

    This was not the bar we expected. No table service, no food, and not the cool vibe we thought. It’s crazy they encourage reservations. We didn’t understand why. No plans to go back. Sad because it has such potential.

    Hostess sat us down for my 730 reservation and I’m still waiting for a waitress to come take my order smh. We literally got up and went to the bar ourselves went back to our section and finished our drinks and left. Nice location, nice atmosphere unfortunately horrendous service and I won’t be back.

    I feel sorry for the people working here. I imagine they are trying to do their best. Nevertheless, do not fall for the pictures online or the promises on their website. This place is cheap, tacky, vulgar. The view is not even worth it. Moreover, they offer food packages that you can prepay through Open Table, be very careful with that. We paid $50 per person only for mediocre food, not to mention we had to go and order it cafeteria-style. The food was served on paper plates with paper napkins and plastic utensils. And we couldn't repeat any dishes because "our bracelets" didn't allow us to eat more than one plate. I don't even need to describe how poor our drinks were, flavorless. Very expensive, very sad. Will never prepay in Open Table again. There are so many wonderful foods, restaurants, and rooftops in NOLA, unfortunately, Monkey Board is the exception.

    This was my first time visiting Monkey Board and likely, the last time I’ll be visiting! 😉 I purchased a ticket for a special Galentine’s event. The event was prepaid and $50 per person to reserve a table that included a shot tree (as listed on the event’s OpenTable invite) and you could purchase food from a local vendor. Upon being seating, my table had to wait about 30 minutes to catch a server passing by to see how we can order cocktails, food, just overall details. Our hostess didn’t tell us anything about how the event was operating. When I finally asked where was our “shot tree” I was told that this was “an event mixup, we don’t even have that” Then why was it on the event page in the first place? I suppose my complaint ruffled some feathers because I was told by my server “but since you said that, I’ll bring you two shots each” That totally ruined my mood because what am I preparing for? A table and a vibe? Not to mention I had to “catch” my server various times throughout the night! We were not waited on consistently and overall this was a poor experience.

    This is a great rooftop bar. Expect great cocktails and happy hour deals, not an extensive menu. They have a pop up food arrangement where different chefs provide different kinds of food/small plates. Today Chris Blanco served Latin Street food which was excellent. This is a great place to hang out in New Orleans!

    The reservations were opened, even though the restaurant was closed because of the bad weather. But no one did let me know this in advance. I´ve only knew it when I arrived there, with my guests.

    WOW, what can I say about this place? Dangerous and Negligent... We went to the rooftop bar for NYE and paid $100 per person to get seating. As you can tell by the pictures, the bar did not have enough seating to accommodate us. We paid for 8 spots and they could only seat 6 of us. Thankfully, one person was not able to make it and they refused to refund the money. The place was packed and oversold. While most NOLA establishments require facemasks and COVID vaccination cards, this place required neither. They also advertised a champagne toast at midnight and failed to do serve that. For $800 a table we expected a little better service. They really needed better systems from greeting and informing guests about the night to a staff member who could accommodate large drink orders and ice for champagne. The real tragedy was the aftermath. I tested positive for COVID 2 days later. Within the next three days, everyone in our party tested positive as well. My special needs daughter tested positive and ended up in the hospital for a couple of days with respiratory issues. I called Monkey Board to inform them of the incident and the manager said he would send it to corporate and I would receive a call. One week later I called for the second time and got the run-around. I finally gave up. AVOID this place at all costs. They are more interested in your money than your health. With so many great places to spend your NYE in NOLA, I'd pick a place that was better organized and ready for a safe celebration.

    Monkey BoardResponded on January 28, 2022Hi Eddie, Thank you for giving us feedback. Currently, our direct manager (and only manager) is the Director of Food & Beverage. We shot you an email to get a better idea of how we dropped the ball this night, and we would love to find a solution.

    Reservations before a Saints game. No food available!! Took 20 minutes for server to take our drink order then after another 20 minutes we left because bartender hadn’t even started making our drinks. Management should know that they are sitting on a gold mine but need staffing and to provide food as advertised. We would have easily spent several hundreds of dollars but left and spent our money elsewhere. Saints game days/evenings are a given that there will be more people.

    Monkey BoardResponded on December 30, 2021Hi Nicole, I apologize for the poor experience. We do our best to be as transparent with guests as possible. We have "Please note. Start times for vendors vary. The vendors will have a payment system set up. For specific questions, please contact the vendors directly. We do not currently serve a food menu outside of the scheduled vendors. In the event that a vendor cancels or cannot make it, we will not be serving food." on our website. We're working on update and wish you come back to visit!

    Seated at table upon arrival, however no service for over 20 min until I stopped one of the servers to ask if we had to go to bar to get drinks. I was then told yes because the tables don’t get service?? Overpriced drinks with a mandatory 20% tip.
